If you have the space, something like this is such a lovely way to escape to nature

I'm loving this yurt, though not so much for hiking and more as a stylish cubicle or quiet getaway to collect one's thoughts.

It could also be a playroom for kids, a private yoga studio for the back yard, or just an awesome excuse to say, "Yo dude, I bought me a yurt." The possibilities are endless!

Commune chic. Covet.

Great, innovative design work here. This sin't just another tent; this is designed to be a portable but semi-permanent dwelling. They are already working on a new model that would be half the price. I guess the saying is true: "Mongolian Nomads really had the secrets of easy living figured out."

The Yurt revisited for the comfort loving burner who is willing to shell out a few clams for the 'roof' over his head.

Where have I been? This was recommended in July and I totally missed it? Wow, this ecoshack is one of the coolest things ever.

Called The Nomad, it is a reinvention of the real Yurt - “THE EARLIEST YURT, the 'ger' (rhymes with air), was an ancient indigenous structure used by nomadic herders on the steppes of Central Asia. A transportable dwelling that is easily dismantled, carried on pack animals and set up again, yurts are ideally suited to the main principle of a nomad's life: 'I carry all my things with me.'

Other than how to cover the air hole at the top... I think this is a great Burning Man tent. If the Mongolians were able to exist with this, I would think for a week, Burners would be able to as well.
